What is Wind energy Wind Energy is a renewable energy and it uses the motion of wind in order to make electricity through the use of a wind turbine, it is one of the most safest and sustainable renewable resources in the world(Blaabjerg and Ma, 2017). In the early 20th century, they used to use windmills which are still used today in some remote areas, which was used to pump water for planation and now we have turbines which can be used to power or schools, universities, businesses and even entire cities(Blaabjerg and Ma, 2017).The main components of the wind turbine is the blades, rotor, Nacelle, Gearbox, Tower and foundation(Burton et al., 2011). Here's some quick steps on how it actually works: Wind Blow-Wind blowing passed Wind is caught inside the blades- aerodynamic blades catch the wind causing them to start spinning Rotor spins- this is where all the blades are connected onto Gearbox increases speed- this gearbox changes the low speed of the rotor into his speed to generate electricity Generator produces electricity- gearbox that is connected to the generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Power is transferred to a central grid- power here is sent through a transformer and increases the voltage to send through power lines
